As many of you will know, Peter had a rare condition called Amyloidosis, which is the build-up of Amyloid proteins that can make it difficult for the organs and tissues to work properly. In Peters case, this affected his heart, causing breathlessness and other uncomfortable symptoms.

The UCL Amyloidosis Research Fund, a charitable fund within University College London (UCL) and part of the Amyloidosis Centre, was created to develop new treatments and receives donations from patients, relatives and other supporters.  

Fund raising through donations enable crucial developments for the benefit of patients which would otherwise not have been possible.  Cutting edge state-of-the-art research demands flexibility and immediate access to funding to enable exciting and promising new avenues to be explored in a timely fashion, through purchase of sophisticated new equipment and employment or redeployment of highly qualified scientific and medical staff.

The resources provided by the UCL Amyloidosis Research Fund, through the generosity of donors, will undoubtedly make major contributions to alleviating the suffering and saving the lives of many thousands of individuals afflicted by a terrible and hitherto incurable disease.  Every penny is received with sincere gratitude and is used specifically and in its entirety for Amyloidosis research.
